Default This must be a new record :)

Well at least for me...

27 minutes hovering on a piccolo V2 with a 11.1v 1600 mah Lith-Ion pack from protech.

Here is some totally-unverifiable-easily-concocted-but-true-nevertheless proof

(Timer S1 is set to run whenever the throttle stick is at more then 0%)

That is fantastic!
Are you using a low voltage indicator? When I think about endurance tests, I always worry about running them below 3v per cell, and I suspect that your heli will stay in the air at lower than 9v.

Not using a low voltage indicator... I just land it at the first sign of power drop and if its a new battery i check the total voltage. In this case it was 10.8V which is still 3.6V per cell which to me is fantastic performance from a Lith-Ion pack.

Side Note: I just recharged that battery and it took 1574mah in 1 hour 28 mins at 1.6 amps charge current
